Beautiful Times

A spark soaring down through the pouring rain

And restoring life to the light house

A slow-motion wave on the ocean

Stirs my emotion up like a rain cloud

When did the sky turn black?

And when will the light come back?

A cab driver turned to skydiver then to survivor

Dying to break down

A blood brother, surrogate mother, hugging each other

Crying their eyes out

When did the sky turn black?

And when will the light come back?

I'm ecstatic like a drug addict

Locked in the attic

Strung out and spellbound

I fought all through the night

Oh-oh, but I made it alive!

The sun is starting to rise

Oh-oh, these are beautiful times!

This fight of my life is so hard, so hard, so hard

But I'm gonna survive

Oh-oh, these are beautiful times

A bad feeling burned through the ceiling

Leaving my healing heart with a new scar

A dead fire rose and rose higher

Like a vampire, up from the graveyard

When did the sky turn black?

And when will the light come back?

We all suffer but we recover

Just to discover life where we all are

I fought all through the night

Oh-oh, but I made it alive!

The sun is starting to rise

Oh-oh, these are beautiful times!

This fight of my life is so hard, so hard, so hard

But I'm gonna survive

Oh-oh, these are beautiful times

This fight of my life is so hard, so hard, so hard

But I'm gonna survive

Oh-oh, these are beautiful times

My heart's burning bad

And it's turning black

But I'm learning

How to be stronger

And sincerely, I love you dearly

Oh, but I'm clearly destined to wonder
